In 2021, 83% of students participated in at least one co-curricular sport and 60% of students played two or more.
The program not only delivers on participation, but also on results. Last year, Stuartholme teams achieved premiership results across swimming, cross country, netball, touch football, soccer, basketball and AFL, the school’s equestrian team won State Champions in two events and our three rowing crews placed first in Head of the River. In recognising the need to deliver holistic care to our students, this year Stuartholme has partnered with Inspiretek, a platform that looks at the athletes’ overall wellness and the tools to manage self-care.
The program is being rolled out progressively, starting with athletes in the A teams. Students and coaches download the company’s app which includes a wellness studio where students can track activity, mood, sleep, fatigue, menstruation, pain, and nutrition. By analysing this data, students can identify trends amongst each of the wellness metrics and create detailed insights. With permission, coaches can see the metrics of the students in their teams and adjust training programs accordingly. The program also provides coaches with a ‘Red Flags’ section. When a student logs data that falls outside of the standard parameters, a red flag will appear until the coach resolves the matter. An example of a red flag could be less than normal sleep over one or more consecutive nights. Another key feature of the program is the media library. This section allows content to be curated and shared across the whole school, specific sport and individual team. Coaches can use this section to upload video from training sessions for students to review.
Students also have access to the full media library currently available from Inspiretek to empower coaches and students with knowledge and resources to succeed. Students can couple this program with the results from MyZone to create a complete picture of their health, wellness and results.
